Veterinary Anesthesia & Dentistry Technician Job in Carlisle, PA
Are you passionate about all of the extra steps you take as a technician to keep pets safe under anesthesia and make their recovery smoother? Do you believe anesthetic safety is a team effort and that there is no better monitor than the certified veterinary technician’s ears, eyes, and hands? How about yucky mouths – do they turn your stomach or do you look at them and go “Yes!!! I can help this pet feel better TODAY!!”? Do you find real satisfaction in helping an owner feel less worried about their pet’s anesthetic procedure or in helping them find a way to get their kitty to finally take its medication?
If just reading these questions got you excited, then this is the position you have been waiting for! At Healing Paws Veterinary Care, we are on a mission to create a better quality of life for pets and the people who love them and we are growing – so, we need amazing veterinary technicians like you to join our team! Our doctors are dentistry geeks, love both soft tissue surgery and internal medicine, and are incredibly passionate about both pain and stress management for all pets.
We want you by our doctor’s side; keeping our patients safe, healthy, comfortable, and loved. We want you to have fun amongst our team while knocking out tasks to get it all done so that you can still go home – on time! Our clinic schedule and team-centered workflow allows us to give high-quality care safely and in a low-stress manner to our patients while considering the importance of your life “after hours”. (Have you listened to Dr. Sands’ Vet Med After Hours podcast??) At Healing Paws, the level of care, fairness, honesty, and kindness that we show clients and pets is reflected back to our team and you will find yourself developing great relationships both with your teammates, leadership team, and clients. We can’t wait for you to see how rewarding it is to work in a relationship-focused, Fear Free handling-based, unique practice where we truly believe that people matter as much as pets!
